Everything that goes around comes back

1992 and 2008
1994 and 2010
What are the similarities?
1992 and 2008 were both presidential years, both presidential victories going to democratic candidates.
1994 and 2010 are both midterm years. In 1994, the republicans wrestled congressional power from the democrats and in 2010 they're about to do the same. One other thing that unites 1992 with 2008 and 1994 with 2010 is the economy. Though not as severe as 2008, America did face a minor economic turmoil in 1992 due to Reagan-Bush economic policies. In 2008, Bush Jr.'s corporate tax cuts led to another deep recession that we are still unable to recover from. In 1994, two years after Clinton's emphatic victory, the democrats faced the ire for the same reason the won the Presidential race two years ago- THE ECONOMY. So, 2010 is somewhat similar. The democrats are having poor poll showing largely because of the stumbling economy. Economists love studying economic cycles. Political Scientists are finding similar trends in politics too. It seems that what goes around comes again and almost always it is the economy that makes or breaks a party's political future.
